Easy Enchilada Casserole

I've made this a few times and it always hits the spot. Yummy, filling, and easy.

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef (or turkey)
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
~1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, chopped (or your hot pepper of choice)
Salt & pepper to taste
1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 of a 7oz can diced green chile peppers (7oz is the smallest I can ever find)
1 (10 oz) can enchilada sauce (or more if preferred)
9 (4-6") corn tortillas
~8 oz shredded Cheddar cheese (or Mexican blend, colby jack, etc.)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350.

In large skillet, brown ground beef with garlic, onion, jalapeno, and salt & pepper. Drain and return to skillet. Reduce heat to low and stir in black beans and green chile peppers. Heat thru.

Pour can of enchilada sauce in bowl. Dip one side of 3 tortillas in sauce and line the bottom of casserole dish with tortillas (or line the bottom with tortillas first and spread sauce atop the tortillas). Cover tortillas with half of the beef/bean mix. Repeat with another layer of sauce-coated tortillas, a layer of beef, and then a final layer of torillas on top. Pour the remaining sauce over the top layer of tortillas. Sprinkle with cheese.

Cover and bake about 20 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 10 minutes, until cheese is melty - I don't eat cheese, which is why the pics below only show half with cheese. Serve with sour cream if desired. Enjoy!
